Anyone have plans to build one, or any ideas that would be useful, that I might overlook. I`ve never used one, so I have no idea what I might be getting into. I`ve been thinking that I would use a couple of old semi truck front spindles and rubber for the foundation, so to speak. The idea seems so simple that I`m sure I`m missing something. Thanks to all who reply, Russ

I don't use a log arch, as i use the 3 point on my tractor to pick up one end while skidding. I then use my pallet forks and grabble to load the logs on a 10 ton running gear. I only use my dozer rarely as a log skidder.
Here's the addy for the neatest arch i've seen, and it doesn't require a winch to lift the log. I don't see why this couldn't be scaled up for skidding bigger logs.
I have the saw mill, and edger from this company, and they they are a well made product.

i have a buddy that uses his 3 point also. he made an attachment that keeps the logs from swinging forward and hitting the tractor (pto shaft). it has slots cut in it to accept chains so he can drag several logs by using several chains. if you think of a short heavy road blade with vertical slots cut in the top of the blade you'll be close.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I like the idea about incorporating a car rear end to be used as a winch off the pto. I might have to use the tractor to pull it after all, since our crawler isn`t set up with a pto. Russ

Just a thought...propane dealers use similar trailers to haul residential tanks around here.
Wouldn' hurt to look at one of them for ideas.

i have wondered the proper name for them. they're called strong backs around here. i've seen two in a salvage yard made of tractor rear wheels. has a pto shaft to a car rearend that is used as the winch. we had a small one with car wheels in the shop to move i beams around.

Going from memory, which is reckless, I think Kim Hartshorn had some good pics on one he built several months ago. You might check the archives or give him a holler.

I built my own, with a couple of differences. I have to travel over paved road, so mine lifts the entire log clear of the ground. I used a Quick Mount Ramsay winch and a cable system. Mine is 14' overall, and will lift and carry a 16' log 30" in diameter. I used hubs/spindles from the rear axle of a front wheel drive Olds Sierra. You could use the hubs from a full-size car if you needed the extra capacity. Using space saver tires would eliminate puncture problems.
